Arnie Hanson's 2nd LLIN Commentary

Hi, my name is Arnie Hanson and I was an unpaid intern working for college credit here at LLIN. As you may remember, I quit LLIN some time ago after the former proprietor of this blog, Lying Lester, decided to shut down the blog due to the chagrin of Octopus.

After the new proprietor of this blog, Willis Hart, hostility took over LLIN, I called him up and asked if he had any need of an intern. Willis' reaction was "maybe", so long as I was willing to work for no pay. I affirmed that I was, so long as he was willing to write up a job review for me to submit to my college professor.

Willis said he would not, so I suggested that I write up the job review, and that all he needed to do was read what I wrote and sign it. He agreed, and that is how I returned to LLIN.

But that was some time ago (#12, 4/9/2014). Since then I completed the class and graduated from college. So why am I still here? Luckily Willis liked my work and decided to keep me on as a paid intern. Although for low, low pay. At first I said no, because who wants to accept low, low pay?

Then Willis suggested slightly higher pay... if I'd also take on the janitorial duties here at LLIN. The pay was still to low, however. So I told Mr. Hart that I'd have to pass. He thought about it for awhile, then suggested he might be able to pay me a little more if I also willing to take on the duties of being his personal valet.

I still said no, as the duties (as he explained them) were way to much work for the salary he was offering. 2 weeks later, however, I called up Mr. Hart and told him I changed my mind. The reason? I wasn't able to find a job. Mr. Hart, knowing he had me over a barrel, lowered his offer. Seeing as my rent was coming due, I agreed. So long as he was willing to advance me enough to cover my rent.

Mr. Hart said he was willing to advance me the money, as long as I agreed to pay interest on said advance (with the advance plus interest to be deducted from my first paycheck). Reluctantly, I agreed.

So now I'm back. Although, to be honest, the hours are grueling. I have to get up early to lay out Mr. Hart's wardrobe for the day, fix his breakfast, and do some light housework. The rest of the day I spend cleaning Mr. Hart's home, preparing his lunch and dinner, and editing the posts Mr. Hart writes for LLIN.

As you may have noticed, Mr. Hart's posts here differ from those on his other blog Contra O'Reilly. On Contra O'Reilly Mr. Hart forgoes the use of paragraphs and (usually) when he inserts a YouTube video, it is in URL form only. Here on LLIN, I edit what Mr. Hart writes (inserting paragraphs and the actual videos. As opposed to URL).

Mr. Hart told me he has no idea how to do either of these things, which is why he needs a "tech nerd" such as myself (although I'm an English major and, as far as HTML goes, am self taught).

I also act as Mr. Hart's chauffeur, driving him to and from work, as well as wherever else he wants to go. Typically I put in 12 or more hours a day. It's hard work, like I said, but I really appreciate it that Mr. Hart was willing to give me a job. I don't know what I would have done otherwise - probably ask my parents for some money? Although I worried that my dad might say no. Not because my parents are financially strapped, but because my parents and me had a falling out (over a personal matter I'm not going to discuss here).

BTW, as I mentioned in my prior post, I DID inquire at The Swash Zone. It seemed like a large blog, what with it's multiple authors. I was hopeful that they might need someone to fetch coffees and donuts, make copies, and do some spell checking and research, but that a-hole Octo turned me down. Dude totally blew me off! He wouldn't even take my call!

Anyway, at the end of the day I guess I'm just glad to have a job. Although the sex stuff does make me quite uncomfortable. That's the part I dislike the most.

LLIN Proprietor Willis "I Love Strawmen" Hart

Hello, my name is Willis Hart, the new proprietor of "Lying Lester's Irrational Nation", which will now be called "Willis Hart's LLIN". Lying Lester is no longer associated with this blog (see this post for the reason why).

FYI, in regards to my Blogger ID, "I Love Strawmen", I chose it because of my intense love affair with the informal fallacy, and not due to love for actual men made of straw.

Not real men because I am not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). Although, I do also love our wealthy overlords, many of whom are male... but my love for the oligarchs is strictly platonic.

Former Blog Proprietor Lord Lying Lester, Man of Reason

Greetings parasites! My name is Lord Lester Nation: Man of Reason, but you can call me Lying Lester. I am a fanatical devotee of the great philosopher Ayn Rand. While some may believe that this is a spoof blog, that is something I stridently deny.

The absolute truth is that it is my other blog rAtional nAtion uSA, that is a spoof... or, humor blog, if you will. A real man can laugh at himself as well those he has duped into thinking he truly is "rAtional".

With that in mind, I encourage you to visit RNUSA - while keeping in mind not to take anything I say there seriously. It is all meant to be quite humorous and (hopefully) produce a belly splitting laugh or two.

Irrational Nation is, however, a serious blog and, in my view, a place for serious commentaries and discussions... please keep that in mind if you should decide to comment. Thank you, The former management.

Former Blog Proprietor Lyle Lester (AKA The 2nd Lying Lester)

A former proprietor of this blog, Lyle Lester has passed away. Lyle, a man who bore an uncanny resemblance to perennial Libertarian potus candidate Gary Johnson, was the victim of a tragic skydiving accident. Long story short, he plummeted to his death after jumping out of an airplane at 30 thousand feet - and his parachute failed to open. Rest in peace Lyle.

Important Notice

Has it been awhile since the LLIN sight was last updated? If so, the Reason is that our sight is currently inactive. No further explanation will be given! Deal with it, parasite! Please also note, however, that a lack of activity does not mean this blog is dead or has been abandoned. All it means is that I have better things to do with my time, such as fooling the gullible over on my other blog rAtional nAtion uSA. Which is infinitely more injoyable (hoodwinking the suckers who read RNUSA, that is). Ha ha ha ha ha!!! (That's me laughing at my RNUSA readers).

(O)CT(O)PUS Is A Totally Great Guy!

Octopusis one of the most brilliant and original theoriticians in all of human history and I know this because he's told me so, many times.

Actually, I don't like the guy because he impugns people's motivation and veracity constantly and it totally pissed me off when he said that I have an agenda. Octopus is a condescending boob who thinks that the sun rises and falls on his opinions and his delivery is always pretentious, pedantic, pontifical, etc. He insults people (usually via some sort of sophomoric rhyme scheme), calls them liars, and mischaracterizes their views, and then he cries foul, when the targeted person responds in kind (maybe he feels that he's above criticism). Plus he's flagrantly orthodox and totally inept when it comes to consuming research, understanding nuance, and grasping the limitations of human knowledge. The dude thinks that he already knows everything, takes himself way too seriously, and basically sounds like some pseudo-professorial blowhard 24/7. Other than that, he's a great guy.

Quotes

All that seems indispensable in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former - James Madison.

And so today I ask ask... Wherein lies the accountability in this day and age of big government and growing statism - Lester Nation.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual - Thomas Jefferson.

Who is John Galt?

Ayn Rand's Timeless Wizzdumb

"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute". (appendix to "Atlas Shrugged")

"The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth". John Galt quote that ended Ayn Rand's last public speech (New Orleans Nov 1981)

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government".
